All of Us Research Program

We're calling on one million people across America to join researchers and advance how we prevent and treat diseases for generations to come.

What is the All of Us Research Program?

All of Us is a new research program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal is to advance precision medicine. Precision medicine is health care that is based on you as an individual. It takes into account factors like where you live, what you do, and your family health history. Precision medicine’s goal is to be able to tell people the best ways to stay healthy. If someone does get sick, precision medicine may help health care teams find the treatment that will work best.

To get there, we need one million or more people. Those who join will share information about their health over time. Researchers will study this data. What they learn could improve health for generations to come. Participants are our partners. We’ll share information back with them over time.

What is Henry Ford's role in the All of Us Research Program?

Henry Ford Health System is one of several prestigious health care organizations across the country supporting the All of Us Research Program, which is run by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

We are calling on volunteers like you to help us make history and change the future of health. The health data you share will be added to the All of Us Research Program database so researchers can access this data to conduct studies.

Information we have about you will be stored on protected computers. We will limit and keep track of who sees the information.

We will remove your name and other direct identifiers (like your date of birth) from your information and replace them with a code.

Researchers must promise not to try to find out who you are.

We will tell you if there is a data breach.

The All of Us Research Program has Certificates of Confidentiality from the U.S. government. This will help us fight any legal demand (such as a court order) to give out information that could identify you.
